Ihey nave strange idea OF reward CIV
ing out in Missouri. The Omaha World
says: When Kansas City policeman
is shot, the Mayor offers reward of $500
for the murderer. When q citizen is shot
and robbed in that city no reward is Of
fered. The policeman is at the mercy of
the highwayman, while citizen has no
business to be on the streets" The re-
ward concerning killed policemen is en-
tirely upon false basis. 1t would be far
more rational TO give a reward of $500 to
the man who succeeded in finding pc
sliceman, without regard to whether he
killed him or not
